Shot in the studio with a posing stool holding the dressing room mirror and my favorite new shoes. Cleaned the mirror really well and set the stool/mirror in the middle of a white backdrop. Turned all of the lights WAY up and facing away from the shoes - pointing at the white walls and backdrop. Basically made a giant light tent of the room to avoid reflections on the shoes and mirror.
Boosted contrast a bit, but not too much because I wanted to keep detail in the black areas; like where the heel tip meets the mirror. Adjusted the color with Hue/Sat and Selective Color. Bit of cloning/dodging/burning to get things just right. Little crop for symetry, then sharpen and save for web.

haha you and the backs of shoes, when i saw this it reminded me of this photo haha i really love the clean cut lines on this shot. very nice lighting this would make an awesome print :)
Totally cool shot here from you, re this challenge. Perfect clarity and focus of something a little out of the box, but done so very well.....
From the thumbnail you have no idea what you are looking at.....
nice pair of manolo's or choo's.. lovin the color and little buckle.. o yea, about the photograph hehe.. nice image, original idea, nice coloring, good editing, technically a good image :)
This shot is . . . . . . .I hesitate to say it, but perfect. The color is striking, the exposure is awesome, the idea is great -- it doesn't say "anything" yet is says a lot. Great work.
Great advertising shot, The color contrast between yello and black gives it a very nice dimension. one nitpik- the highlights on the heels does spoil the impact of this otherwise wonderful image 8
